On my journey as an Airship Pilot, I have created this blog to keep in touch with family and friends.

Welcome to California

Well we made it to California on Sunday and now have two days off in San Bernardino. Its my first time in California and was kind of a lack luster entrance since Southern California pretty much looks the same as Arizona or Nevada does out in the desert surrounded by mountains. I did see one cool thing driving through the mountain pass though, hundreds of giant windmills which generate the electric power for surrounding cities. The rest of the pictures from the transit can be found here. Tomorrow we head up towards Oakland for our tv event this weekend. We haven't seen much evidence of the wild fires around here other then the big firefighting airplanes that occasionally take off from the airport. Going more north though, we may end up seeing more of the devastation first hand.

About Me

From my days back in Kent, I had always thought being an Airship Pilot would be the ultimate in aviation jobs. With some ups and downs along the way and a lot of persistence, I've been fortunate enough to have been given the rare opportunity to join this elite group of pilots. Let the journey begin!
